Which I really don’t get. Nixon did a lot of things that the hippies should have loved.
But, to them, Nixon was always associated with HUAC.
Nixon didn’t end the draft to appease the hippies, but to appease his own constituency - Middle America, which was tired of having their kids conscripted to be sent to Vietnam.
BTW, Middle America grew tired of George Bush’s war too. That’s what elected Obama, and leaves Bush even today as one of the most unpopular presidents. Trump needs to take note. A war against Iran risks making him a failure like Bush, instead of a success like Reagan, who launched no wars.
